Hungry?! Create an edible book
UC Libraries seeks books good enough to eat for the International Edible Books Festival
Event Information (passed)
Know of a good book to eat?! Create an edible book for UC Libraries International Edible Books Festival.
It’s time once again for the fan favorite International Edible Books Festival set for 1- p.m., Wednesday, April 1, on the Walter C. Langsam Library’s 4th floor. UC Libraries is seeking people interested in creating an edible book for the enjoyment (and consumption) of all in attendance. There are few restrictions – namely that your creation be edible and have something to do with a book – so you may let your creativity run wild.
As in previous years, entries will be judged according to such categories as “Most Delicious,” “Most Creative,” “Most Checked Out” and “Most Literary.” Those awarded “Best Student Entry” and “Best Overall” will win a limited-edition, much coveted UC Libraries T-shirt.
If you are interested in creating an edible book, e-mail melissa.norris@uc.edu by Friday, March 20 with your name and the title of your creation.
